The Recent Railroad Horror.

CLEVELAND, 6 Jan.-Among a num-
Der who visited the scene of the wreck to-
day was Warham Parks, of Oconomowoc,
Wis. brother OF Marshal III. Parks, who
persisted in the wreck. Mr.. Parks visited
the scene Of the disaster in company with
MIR. Rankin and another officer of the
Baltimore K Ohio railroad. Rankin
would say but little; but the other officer,
Cherry Poor, spoke as to the responsible
ity of the wreck. While he made no direct
charge, Mr.. Parks told your reporter that
he talked in such a manner that there
could be no doubt that the officers of the
road placed the responsibility directly on
the conductor and engineer of the freight
train. He said the officers never knew of
the men being intoxicated, but the way
they managed their train that night was a
fearful blunder. Marshall II. Parks
was a clerk in the department of
the interior at Washington. He was
on his way to Chicago ON Off
cial business. Mr.. Parks could find
nothing hat his brother had with him,
nor any trace of anything that would lead
him to identify any of the charred re
mains as being his brothers. An in
quest by the coroner will be instituted in
this city to morrow, when the railroad
officials and officers of the wrecked train
will be here. Coroner l,epner Is 1ater.

Mrs. Emmons In Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin response 10
to a writ of de Mnahco inqmrendo, issued
by Judge James upon the petition OF
Prof.. Emmons, a jury was summoned by
the marshal, to-day, to try the question
Of sanity of Prof. Emmons' wife, Mrs.
Weltha A. Elnnons, whose ecceDtricities
here and in Europe have recently been
the subject Of so much newspaper com
ment. Prot. Emmons was represented
by Mr.. Linden Kent, as counsel, and Mrs.
Emmons by Mr.. Garnett. Mr.. Kent made
the opening address to the jury, in which
he reviewed at length Mr.. and Mrs. En-
mons married life. Mrs. Emmons, he
said, soon after her marriage, began to
show distressing symptoms Of epilepsy,
and as long ago as 1882 she exhibited &C.
centricities which led her friends to be-
lieve that her mind was unsound. Mr..
Garnet, addressing the Jury in behalf of
Mrs. Emmons, said that he appeared in
this case as the result of an appeal from
DR.. Lincoln to save this woman from an
insane asylum. He would also show that
this charge of insanity was not made until
after Mrs Emmons had discovered that
her husband was unfaithful to her. In
June, 1884, she found a woman in Phila-
delphiu with whom her husband had had
relations and she purchased from this
woman some of Mr.. Emmons' letters.
He would show that it was one of the
conditions of the agreement OF separation,
being in 1885, that she should surrender
those letters. She did surrender them,
and it was a significant fact that these
proceedings to have her adjudged insane
began at that time. Then" said Mr..
Garnet, "Emmons had the letters and
she had lost her control. If he could
put her into a m%adhouse. who would he
lieve her story of his infdelity?'

the special committee appointed to ex-
anime the inter state commerce bill now
pending before congress, made his report.
1t reviewed the provisions of the bill and

for a shorter than for a longer haul; also
section ), which contains Ian absolute
provision against pooling. 1t is suggested
to strike out or amend the bill in accord
ance with the following resolution:
Resolred, That as the commissioners
under the proposed law will be charged
with no important or intricate business
duties, they should, as far as political and
non-partisan consideration mentioned in
the bill admit, be selected with reference
to their experience and knowledge of the
business interests of the country and that
agricultural, commercial and railroad in
terest should all be represented upon such
commission.

committee reported f~avoring immediate
action in the matter of providing suitable

lutions were adopted f%avoring the imme-
date passage OF Cox's bill for an appro
priation of $50, DOC. 900 for defences or

merce bill.

Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-06-22
WANTED-A POLICE FORCE.

Every day but further demonstrates
that Salt Lake is in urgent want OF po-
lice force. Every day brings its disgrace
ful quota OF outrages, and renewed assur-
ance of immunity to the perpetrators.
Evening before last there was bold
and brutal attempt at rape near the Road
House, within the city jurisdiction. Was
the intended victim rescued by the po-
lice? Certainly not. No policeman was
on hand. The young lady thus actively
threatened with the most infamous of
outrages on the public streets of the city,
was rescued by providential passers-by.
A day or two since a saddle horse was
openly taken in broad daylight from a
public hitching-post by a loafng soldier,
and ridden off, Where was police vigil
ance? 1t was not there. Not only that,
but when the owner discovered his loss
and went to the police headquarters to
request that the city guardians recover
his property for him, he was coolly told
that all of the officers were busy, and
that he would have to hunt up his horse
for himself. Accordingly, he put in
the balance OF the day in recovering
the property so impudently and openly
taken from him. Wanted police
force for Salt Lake City. Again, the
other day a robbery was committed at
the Driving Park. The thief was arrested
by citizens, and the police notified. Time
passed and no policeman appeared to
take charge of the prisoner. At
last, after lapse of thirty-six hours, the
fellow was turned loose in despair by the
citizens who had captured him. Wanted
"a police force for Salt Lake City.
These instances are all recent. In a day
or two they will be replaced by others
equally pertinent and equally disgraceful
The DEMOCRAT has repeatedly pointed
out where the blame for this shameful
condition of affairs is located. The fault
is the City Councils, and the City Coun-
ellis alone. The Council is not only
supine-it is criminal The public in
dignation shonld express itself in such
unmistakable terms, that the city gov
ernment will be compelled to take the
necessary measures for the protection of
life. property, and the good name of
Salt Lake. Wanted city police force,

SOLID VALUE.

The sale of real estate in Salt Lake
City is demonstration of true worth and
solid value. In all instances property
sold is bringing the surface prices. No
lewing down is being done-no reduction
is being demanded or accorded
At the same time, while the sales of
real estate are easy, quick and prompt,
the property is bringing far higher prices
than ever before paid for like property in
this city.
The daily movement in real estate IL
lustrates the confidence felt by both home
and outside capital, and establishes un-
deniably the fact that eligible property is
being very largely sought after as an in
vestment. Every day but proves the
substantial basis upon which Salt Lake
real estate rests. There is nothing wild
cat about it. The foam of the boom
has subsidized, and the solid
foundation shows itself. Property, in
bringing the handsome figures it does, is
simply selling for what it is worth. Every
citizen should feel encouraged. Every
holder Of real estate should be happy.
No better evidence of the prosperity Of q

THE SAINTS CRAWFISH.

Even in the interests of Mormon State.
hood this anti-polygamy pledge is q
bitter pill to swallow. 1t would seem as
though the Saints are already throwing
up the sponge in the matter.
This mornings Church Echo editorially
softens the distasteful proposition down
to ga charter that shall be sufficiently
anti-polyamous to suit the mind Of Con-
greSS" This statement of the case by
the Church Echo is indictive of the be-
ginning of the end. The farce is about
over. The Saints will not give any pub
lie anti-polygamous pledge.
This settles the matter, for with moth
ing short of a public remuneration of
polygamy could the Saints hope to carry
their point. Congress, in any case, would
not seriously consider a polygamous
pledge Of any sort. The sufficiently
anti-polygamous charter" of this morn
ing's Echo Congress will not consider at
all, and the Saints will never ask it to.
They know better. They have craw-
fshed
